FAST Clutch


Recommended Posts

Ok i have some problems.

1. The Fast springs are twice as big as old springs and my bolts are really short. I tried it any how. I used the torque wrench at 7 ft lbs like the clymer said but there was so much pressure from the springs being so compressed I broke a bolt. Also when the other bolts were cranked to the 7 the spring was so compressed I dont think it would have even worked. Whats up?

 

2. The old clutch had 2 rubber rings that go in the clutch do you use two? Book only mentions one that goes aggenst the hub. Also I dont quite understang the explanation of where it goes does it go on first and the first friction plate sits aggenst it or does it go on first and you push the friction plate on top of it so it is kinda wraped under the first plate between the hub?

 

I need help

You do not need the rubbers, with the new clutch fibers and steels.

That is with the stock fibers and steels.

As far as the springs go, give jeff a call. I got heavy duty clutch springs

from him and installed them with no problem.

Thanks I have his springs I guess I just need to know if I use stock bolts for the springs because the springs are so long.

Yep...getting them to start the thread with those stiff clutch springs is fun....but fine after that.

Use a 10 mil nut driver if you can....to put even pressure on them.

 

Or...a big phillips....

dont torque them they will snap for some reason,i had the same problem. just go tight with phillips head or 1/4 inch drive with 6 inch extention with one hand, it works fine that way

 

Dunno...I've done quite a few clutches, and the only time I did snap a bolt is when I didn't use a torque wrench set to 7.5 ft lbs....
